Service is a key principle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We believe that “When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.” (Mosiah 2:17) Members of the Church in the Richmond area participated in Virginia’s Day to Serve this past September.
